Skewed distributions appear very often in practice. Unfortunately, the traditional Zipf distribution often fails to model them well. In this paper, we propose a new probability di...
Abstract. Finite mixture models can be used in estimating complex, unknown probability distributions and also in clustering data. The parameters of the models form a complex repres...
We are interested in capturing time series generated by small wireless electronic sensors. Battery-operated sensors must avoid heavy use of their wireless radio which is a key cau...
Abstract— Network monitoring and diagnosis are key to improving network performance. The difficulties of performance monitoring lie in today’s fast growing Internet, accompani...
Estimating the reflectance and illumination from a single image becomes particularly challenging when the object surface consists of multiple materials. The key difficulty lies ...
